Priceline Hotel: Best Western Inn Carpinteria not in Santa Barbara Zone, right?

[Luvhawaii]

Hello!

I was looking at the list of pinned hotels for Santa Barbara. I see the Best Western Inn in Carpinteria listed in the Santa Barbara Zone but looking at the map that lookes like it would fall in Carpinteria. Is that list pre-Carpinteria zone?

I'm thinking of bidding on priceline for a three star hotel 11/3 x 2 nights and I see a three star, 7+, with pool. I don't want to be all the way in Carpinteria, though.

Thanks

Just bid using PRICELINE link:

11/3 x 2 nights

3* Santa Barbara 99/nt x 2 rooms- denied

3* Santa Barbara 112/nt x 2 rooms- denied

There were some zone changes in this region and we have updated the Priceline Hotel List accordingly... thanks for letting us know.

A Saturday nite check-in in this area could be tough.

Best rate i'm finding for a 3* property in this zone is the Best Western Encina for $184/nite... everything else is at or near $200+. What is your maximum bid for a 3* hotel for this trip before you consider lowering to the 2.5* level?

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

As previously mentioned, I was unsuccessful on priceline for this trip, and booked a hotel at retail rate.
